註釋

Interest in patient dosimetry has been stimulated to a considerable extent by the 1990 publication of :Patient Dose Reduction in Diagnostic Radiology" by the U.K. National Radiological Protection Board. However in Malaysia basic information on patient doses continues to be severely lacking. The Department of Radiology at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur has embarked on a programme of establishing baseline data for patient doses from current radiological procedures, also investigating the potential for dose reduction. We report the results of a survey of radiation doses to patients undergoing chest and intravenous urography examinations. The entrance skin doses received by patients undergoing chest X-ray examinations have been obtained using the indirect (semi-empirical) method. Comparison with measurements using thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) shows good agreement.
